Default Fuel question

I have heard (and been told) that the best gas to use for my 2000 XK8 is BP premium. It has also been suggested to use premium un-oxygenated. Any comments or recommendations and explanations as to why? Look forward to your responses. Thanks!

Best,

Rednax (Frank)

BTW, am still working on getting my signature and car pix up. It's a 2000 XK8 - 78K miles.

I use the cheapest 87 octane from a high volume station that I can find.

. . . let the debate begin . . . again.
